Again, it starts in the head, not the hand.

Before anyone gets a CHL they need to decide why they are getting it. If its just show and tell, then it doesn't take much but a little practice, a litle money and maybe a little "mouth."

If its for self defense, then the decision had better have been made that this is a duty and a responsibility. You must make the decision at the moment it needs to be made based on the factors at the time. If they are not ready to defend themselves, then give them time and space.

I made my decision years ago when I took Tae Kwon Do and decided I would do whatever I had to do to defend myself and family. It didn't take too long to decide that the odds were more in my favor if I didn't have to relie on just punches and kicks.
